Lightweight Crew - RS200/ Cherub/Vareo..?

4000 has more sail, wing wang on the spinny pole, trapeze racks, think there's more room in the cockpit as well. 4000's faster! I haven't sailed the 4000 and haven't sailed the 3000 much, but I have a friend who quite happily sails the 3000 single handedly. The 3000 also has a jib furler, so if you were overpowered you could reduce sail on the water easily. The 4000 has a battened jib so it cannot be furled. I'd be suprised if you'll have enough weight to keep the 4000 upright with much wind - should move faster than everyone else when it's light though! I think the same would apply with Cherubs - I've only sailed one, once, it's awesome fun but you need a crew to keep it up and need plenty of weight at the back to keep the nose out of the water. The 2000 may be worth a thought as well, I've sailed that in about a 5 with main only and kept that upright with no problems. (I think) the mast is a standard Proctor mast, so although it officially has no trapeze wires can be added. Sorry if I seem Laser biased - most of my sailing has been in 420s, most of the rest I've sailed has been at the centre I work at and they predominately use Laser gear. Probs a good idea to find a centre with most of the boats you're thinking about and go and try them.

Wanderer to cherub is a bit extreme... as much as I think they are great boats its probibly best not to jump straight to skiff without passing go, especialy without a regular crew confirmed. Im sure some of the many cherub guys on here could give you a more valid veiw though.

RS200 sounds like your best bet to me, but if you want a trapeze then id consider the buzz or L3000. Ive seen both sailed singlehanded with reasonable ease.
